A Unified Approach to Achieving High Power and High Energy in Chirally Coupled-Core Ytterbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier Systems

An approach based on a comprehensive, unified model for fiber laser and amplifier systems is used in the design of high-power, high-energy systems. With guidance from the model, a chirally coupled-core Yb-doped fiber amplifier system is constructed. We use a two-stage system comprised of a 2.5-m lon...
